- What can we create with only 140 bytes of JavaScript?
- How do we write small programs that output their own source in a different way?
- Why do we write code in English and limit us to ASCII characters?
- Can we write JS that is also valid CSS and HTML at the same time?
Follow Martin on his journey through a maze of code where the boundaries between art and programming are blurred. This entertaining talk will show off invisible code, tweet-sized games, Asian programs, symmetric JavaScript, polyglot inceptions, self-modifying functions, exotic symbols, and much more mind-blowing examples.
